More personal favorites are Kasabian (two of my buddies have that as their riding music), Social Distortion. <BR/><BR/>My new fave love is Magnetic Fields. Their new CD 'Distortion' dropped last Tuesday. 'I Hate California Girls", 'Nuns Litany' and 'Please Stop Dancing' just beyond rock. Witty stuff with great beat.Kathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10118240143740912601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20056539.post-31113326461766210352008-01-21T18:45:00.000-08:002008-01-21T18:45:00.000-08:00Another long time reader and first time commenter....Another long time reader and first time commenter.

I am kind of an iTunetard, but just load up the iTunes store and search for "Loo Placido Podcast" and hit subscribe and BOOM. It's a little of everything all mixed together from 80s rock to hip-hop. It's EXCELLENT and FREE, but I'd pay for it.<BR/><BR/>This is the music I consider my "European Subway" mix. When I was walking in the subway tunnels in Europe on my last trip, I'd flip on the L&P Mash-Ups and the pace was just right for walking briskly.Nurse Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06408755992926959084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20056539.post-69666274103538576112008-01-21T16:30:00.000-08:002008-01-21T16:30:00.000-08:00You might want to try Blind Guardian.

The band's major musical influences seems to be American 80's hair bands. <BR/><BR/>You might also like The Levellers. English band with an electric fiddle and a large measure of what needs to be fixed in the world. <BR/><BR/>If nothing else, take what you got already and put the band names into Wikipedia. Click on the various genre links and it will show you a bunch of banks associated with that genre. There will be something there you haven't heard of but similiar to what you already know.Beadwenchnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20056539.post-50811346432556945782008-01-21T09:53:00.000-08:002008-01-21T09:53:00.000-08:00Another vote for Great Big Sea, Rawlins Cross, Rik...Another vote for Great Big Sea, Rawlins Cross, Rik Emmet (of Triumph), and Billy Idol.

Martyn Bennett had an album called "Bothy Culture" a number of years back with some tracks you might like ("tongues of kali", "ud the doudouk", "yer man from athlone" - might not be the best for skiing but check them out). Let's not forget Ashley MacIsaac (first 2 tracks on "Hi How Are You Today?" especially). Those come off the top of my head.

Flogging Molly is good as well. I used to love "Mountain Song" by Jane's Addiction when bombing downhill on my mountain bike. "Plane Crash" by moe. is a great one up in the mountains,plus some of the live versions are 11+ minutes long so you can get your groove on, my favorite version is off of "L1" although the version on "Wart's and All, vol. !" is excellent, albeit 20 minutes long. Great thing though...all are on iTunes for ease of dl'ing.

For crashing down some gnarly double-blacks, I'd recommend "I'm Shipping Up to Boston" by the Dropkick Murphys. It figured prominently in the opening of the film, "The Departed."
